Known for his aggressiveness inside and outside the Octagon, Nick Diaz did not spare words to attack Georges St Pierre, his rival in the main fight of UFC 158, an event that takes place this Saturday (16), in Montreal, Canada. When asked at the press conference before the show about the anti-doping test carried out by the Quebec Athletic Commission, the American said that his rival is using steroids and will not be caught in the test.
“I believe he (St. Pierre) is taking a lot of steroids, and I don't think they test anything here (in Canada). I doubt I'll be tested either. I don't care what they're selling to the media, I doubt we'll be tested, and if we are, I bet he has a bottle of pee in his pocket. I doubt they're on top of him making sure he's not taking steroids,” Diaz fired.
With the criticism machine gunning, the former Strikeforce champion says that everyone, including the UFC, is against him in the duel against GSP. According to Diaz, the promotion of the fight was made with the image of him being presented as a villain and the Canadian as the good guy.
“I imagine they want (my defeat). I think the United States wants me to lose this fight, especially after what was sold (in the promotion of the fight). And it's not their fault. They were educated according to what was sold to them. It’s marketing and advertising, and I learned that in this sport”, he concluded.
